Peace and Conflict The South Asian Experience Priyankar Upadhyaya and Samrat Schmiem Kumar (editors) Keeping in mind that peace research is a relatively

young field yet to earn an independent status, and that contributors to mainstream peace and conflict literature have also been minimal, this book introduces the notable work of wellestablished as well as young peace researchers on South Asia.
